I have recently returned from Scott Base Antarctica, where I had the chance to use the DeWalt 18 volt "Snake light" on a daily basis. This proved to be the single most used and appreciated tool that I took with me. - Robust quality! -2 hours of light per charge! -worn around the neck, it offered hands free operation! -40 below, still worked well ! However,-Spare bulbs are hard to find. I highly recomend this unit. Fred Parsons. Winter Over Mechanic, Scott Base Antarctica.

4.0 out of 5 stars DW919 18-Volt Flexible Floodlight, December 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: DEWALT DW919 18-Volt Flexible Floodlight (Tools & Home Improvement)

I just purchased another one of these flashlights a few weeks ago and already have several others I've owned for years that are kept both in the truck and at the shop. They have taken quite a beating but all still function well. I use them on the job routinely along with many other Dewalt 18V tools so I could easily justify the purchase of an 18V battery for each flashlight and like the idea of not having to pull one out of another tool to make them operable.
The flexible 18V flashlight is without a doubt one of the best cordless accessory ideas to ever come around for tradespersons and service techs. Anyone who's been around long enough probably remembers the expense having to purchase cases of disposable 6V alkaline lantern batteries that would only last for a few hours or the cheap and dangerous 120V drop lights with the bulbs that frequently blew out if you bumped the light to hard, even when using rough service bulbs. My favorite was when a hot bulb would shatter from thermal shock after accidentally making contact with a few drops of water leaving the energized electrodes of the broken bulb exposed. If you were lucky you'd to be using a GFCI protected receptacle. It's still amazing that more people weren't killed.
I have dragged, dropped and banged the DW919 flashlight mercilessly over the years and can't recall ever blowing a single bulb because of it.
It produces a bright white spot beam and a fully charged battery can sometimes last for several hours of continuous use. It can easily last all day if you're just using it for a few minutes at a time and make the effort to shut it off when not needed. Replacement bulbs come in two-packs and are not really that expensive considering that you can average many months of use from a single bulb. The impact resistant plastic construction makes this flashlight very rugged as well as safe for working around electrical equipment. The lens is made of lexan, the threaded cap is sealed with a gasket making the head and flexible rubber covered shaft dust tight and safe for water splash. It is much better and more durable than the DeWalt pivot head model which I also had used previously. The flexible shaft can be wrapped around a pipe or cable or even worn around your neck. I find that if you need to set the light on the floor, it's best to lay the battery on it's side then coil the shaft around like a snake and point the head where you want it because the battery's weight tends makes the light fall over if you don't.
The DW919 flashlight is now an indispensable part of my workday and I highly recommend it as an accessory to any tradesperson who is already using Dewalt 18v tools.

I got my firstone of these as part of a kit, after using it a few times I bought two more! I operate a small airport and I find them very useful while repairing and inspecting aircraft, I keep one on my fuel truck so I can set it down and light up my work while I'm refueling airplanes. The heavy base and flex shaft make it easy to put light where you want it. This light eliminates the need for a second person (not always one around) to hold a flashlight and frees up both your hands for the task at hand (no pun intended). A great light, and with Amazon's new lower price a great buy!
